We had a lunch celebration at a local Mexican restaurant for Jenny ( BF’s sis). Of course, being a Mexican restaurant I ate too many chips w/ salsa while waiting for my food! I tried the BF”s black bean soup, he gave it a thumb’s up.For my main I ordered a bean burrito, it basically just had beans and rice inside even though I ordered lettuce and tomato inside too . It was HUGE, the pic doesn’t do it justice.The waitress brought Jenny a big plate of fried tortilla strips covered in cinnamon, sugar, dulce de leche and  whipped cream. We also brought an ice cream cake for her. I passed on the ice cream cake since I was already so stuffed and ate a lot of the crispy and sugary tortilla chips. Happy Birthday Jenny!

Today’s run was 7 miles. It was hot here at 9am! I am still on California time, so my runs have started later than usual but not really. I walked a 1 1/2 miles to cool down after too. I think I think better while walking rather than running for some reason.  A long walk really clears my head

Day 3 of 2009 – I was craving fruit crazy style so I stopped at the store on the way home from my run and picked up watermelon and grapes. Oh, I also got Arnold’s Sandwich Thins! Finally! They don’t have them at any of my usual stores in Cali. I was so excited, I am weird.

Breakfast was watermelon, 1/4 a Dunkin Doughnuts doughnut and cereal. Then plan for today is lunch at a local restaurant for the BF’s sister’s b-day, a long walk and hanging out with the BF’s fam. It’s a beautiful day, have a good one!

After today’s good run as we were moving stuff for the BF’s sister I stole a orange from their tree and ate it (no pic). 3 hours after my run I finally ate breakfast – oatmeal (the usual combo) and a smoothie made with mango juice, mango yogurt and ice I love smoothies!The BF and I went on a little “tourist” adventure today in Florida. On the way there I ate an apple and some cherries.We visited the Mote Marine Aquariumin Sarasota. Here is something you don’t know about me : I love manatees! I lalalove them so much, I don’t even know why, but I have liked them since I was a little kid and tried to raise money for them by selling homemade book marks. Ha. Every time I come to FL I try and hope and wish to see a manatee in the wild. It hasn’t happened yet, so the BF took me to see one two at the aquarium. Here is a manatee during feeding time with his friend the sea turtle.See how I measure up to the manatee…On the way back home I was hungry. Since I had such a late breakfast we kinda skipped lunch. We stopped and grabbed a snack, not the healthiest option, but not the worst either right? That is Diet Dr. Pepper in the big cup. I can’t help myself, I am going to die from some aspartame related disease I know.Fancy dinner! The BF’s fam got lobster for dinner! Wow, huh. I had never really had to rip apart a whole lobster before and had a hard time. Actually I didn’t like the experience at all, it kinda grossed me out. Those suckers are lucky (or maybe unlucky?) that they taste good or I would have given it all away. Next time I am just sticking to lobster tail, I don’t want to deal with the rest of it.

I just had dessert – a few cookies and milk. No pic Yes, the cookies and milk were unnecessary and I might have neglected to take a picture on purpose, but at least I am coming clean! Tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start for my 2009 goals!
